Review of New York stock and
Petroleum Markets.

New YORK, October 27.-The stock mar
ket was less active to-day, and its move
ments were quite irregular. The general in
terest were absorbed in a few stocks which
were affected by influences peculiar to
themselves. The general sentiment was
still bullish, but traders were in favor of Il
reaction, and in the absence of any great
demand for stocks succeeded in keeping
prices down to the level of last night. The
closing prices showed irregular changes,
though advances are in the majority and the
only Important decline was in Kansas and
Texas, which lost rs per cent, while Mani
toba is up ~, and Oregon Navigation and
Western Union per cent. each.
Government bonds are dull and firm.
Petroleum opened strong at .705s, but
after the first sales, hamm ering OF the bears
broke the market and it fell 115c. before
noon. There was Il sharp recovery from
again and closed weak at 20.

BRITISH POLITICS.

The last mail from the Coast shows,
conclusively that crisis is approaching
on the Irish question The Coercion
bill introduced by the Government is
simply "atroci0us," as it has been aptly
characterized by the Nationalist and
American press, and by not a few Eng
lish members. It gives the Irish Elk
ecutive power at its discretion to extin-
yuish freedom of speech, the liberty OF
herpsSHess; the right of petition and pub
Am bFng, and in short to reduce the
m Fof Ireland to a condition Of abso-
AIlGa..lavery, without vestige of civil
;,cits. It is needless to say that this
Ill, if it ever becomes law, will be re-
sisted in Ireland Meanwhile the Gov
eminent are believed to have advised the
Queen to proclaim Ireland" as disaf-
fected district, thereby putting it under
martial law and precipitating a conflict
against arbitrary authority to furnish a
reasonable pretext for Parliament pass
ing the Coercion Act. This is a scheme
worthy the genius of Castlereagh, but
the times are not favorable for such
measures, neither is England in a posi-
ten to cripple itself for a political craze
of the Tory party on the eve of a great
European war in which its imperial in
terests must be protected. Doubtless
the folly of the Tories, and the despera
ton of the landed interests, would risk
the wreck of the Empire in support of
their ideas, but the great mass of the
szafitish people have interests apart from
these, and their love of JUS
tice and fair play will not suffer
them to consent to such unequal
and unrighteous legislation. Further
more the English people understand the
Irish question too we'll to be hoodwinked
and fooled by Tory pretences. The in
evitable is before British statesmen, and
the sooner they come to understand this
the better it will be for their country.
Home Rule for Ireland and Imperial
federation will be the programme of the
next successful Administration. Without
the contamination of this policy, and
enlarged power of local administration in
Scotland and Wales, there is danger of
the Empire falling to pieces. This is far
too great penalty to pay for acquies-
cence in the Tory programme. The
crisis, however, is very near, and next
mail may bring some definite news re-
garding the situation: 1T is 70 be hoped
that the ems Jubilee is not to be
- r he renewal of atrocities in
Under cover of authority, which
endered English rule in that
y wholly indefensible.

CURED the bloody, long contested and de-
cisive battle of Pea Ridge. There were but
two correspondents with the Federal army
Knox and Fayal, of The St. Louis Democrat
These two followed the Federal columns for
several weeks; they underwent extraordinary
hardships, they witnessed the final battle and
then started for st. Louis, writing their let
tiers as they travelled. They had to travel
on horseback for distance of nearly or
quite 200 miles before reaching the railway
at Rolla. The two correspondents, knowing
that they were The only newspaper represen-
tatives in the field, were reasonably happy.
Being from widely separated towns, there
was no rivalry between them, and they
strengthened each others letters by free
interchange of facts, so that their accounts
were probably as near perfect as product
of the kind could be.
Filled with satisfaction at the certainty of
having the only accounts and of being the
first to give the record of the march and bat
ties to the public, they reached st. Louis,
and found New York Tribune that had ar

IMPERIAL SLAVES.

The Five Thousand Who Guard the
Harem of China's Monarch.
I have been told that there are about
five thousand male slaves in the Chinese
Emperor's palace, a figure which it is.
of course, very difficult to control. The
number, however; must be large, since
that class of individuals is alone called
upon to fill posts which everywhere
else are usually given to men. Their
business is to keep sharp watch over
the Emperor's harem, an institution of
no great service for the time being,
since his Majesty is yet minor, but in
view of its becoming serviceable some
day, and to pay meet homage to the
rites of religion.
The Empress selects the young beau
ties admitted into this Chinese seraglio,
and she has to renew the personnel
every three years. These young girls
arc recruited among the families of the
Mandchou officers, who look upon the
honor of having the prettiest of their
daughters in the Imperial harem as
means of attaining high rank. These
young ladies make their debut at
the age of fourteen, and remain inside
the harem until they are twenty-five
years old. If, in the interval, they
give birth to offspring, they by right
become daughters of the Imperial
blood" and remain bound with the
fate of the child, for he may become a
''Son of Heaven and sovereign heir
to ten thousand kingdoms. If, on the
other hand, the young lady reaches
the age of twenty five without yielding
increase to the Imperial household, she
is sent home to her illustrious parents.
and honestly weds Mandarin of the
place.
Such manners appear very strange to
us at first sight, but genuine Cinnamon,
who hold out stanchly for ancestral
worship. find them practical and
good, and ascribe to them the results
that Chinese civilization has attained.
They can not imagine how nation
can be endowed with better manners if
it hopes to endure as long as the ages.
The throne and family are thus never
without heirs. This institution of
eunuchs is not of Chinese origin. 1t
was imported, say the learned, from
Arabia and Persia, by a renowned
Chinese conqueror. 1t was at once
adopted at the court of the Mogul SOW
ereigns, and has ever since retained, in
lite of varying success, a portion of
that occult influence which Orientals
are so passionately ready to stand VI
for and defend.-PeEi71 Cor. Journal

America to thus associate themselves
with Protestants or Atheists Speaking
on the subject of strikes, he says:
I have three things to remark, First,
strikes are not an invention OF the knights
of Labor, but a universal and perpetual
means by which workmen protest against
what is unjust and demand their rights
Second, in such a struggle of the multi
tudes of the poor against hard, obstinate
monopoly, violence is often as inevitable
as it is regretable. Third the laws and
principle authorities of the Knights, so far
from encouraging violence or occasions for
violence, exercise a powerful preventive
influence, seeking to keep strikes within
the limits of legitimate action. It's prin-
ciples are good social order, and religion is
necessary to preserve so desirable state
of affairs Among the church's glorious
titles. none at present give her such infiu-
ence as that of the Friend of the People. "
In our democratic nation that is the title
which gains for the Catholic Church
not only the enthusiastic devotion of mill
ions of her children, but the respect and
admiration of all our citizens, whatever
their religious beliefs. L recognize the fact
that the great question of the future is not
a question of war, commerce or finance,
but a social question touching on the
amelloration of the condition of popular
masses, especially the workingmen
Therefore it is of sovereign importance
that the church be found always ranged
on the side of humanity and justice toward
the multitudes composing the body of the
human family. The condition of the
lower classes at present cannot and should
not continue
